Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah part 1: World war 4
Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah part 1: World war 4″ is a classic to me. I state this, because not a lot of people liked this album. With the release of her hit single “Honey” everyone thought the entire album would spawn similar sounding songs. They were wrong. I like …

I’ve always love Martina McBride. Her songs always touches me and I can always feel the emotions of the song. I remember how her songs really makes me feel pain and happiness. Even if I’m not inlove, but I always felt inlove when listening to her love songs.
But the …
Show Your Bones, 2006 Album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Metallica - Mama Said (Music Video)
Overview —“ Mama Said, a third music video released for Metallica’s album Load, is the music video for a song which honestly doesn’t strike me, and I’m sure most people, as a Metallica song. I mean even just thinking about the title and the artist, having the word Metallica …
Alice In Chains - Frogs Unplugged (song)
“Frogs” is the 11th song on the Alice In Chains Unplugged live album. “Frogs” appeared on Alice In Chains self titled album, but I never really could get into the studio version of it therefore I never really paid it any mind. However the live acoustic and unplugged version …

Ibanez GRG220dex
Bought this guitar during a sale, at first it was just for the looks but it was just more than that after I tested it when I got back home.
Its original price was SGD$642 but I bought it at SGD$350.
Black glossy finish with a Wizard II like neck, Ibanez …

The Clash Sandinista!
The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …
Head Over Heels (song, Tears for Fears)
Tears for Fears is one of the biggest 1980’s acts of all time. This duo had so many hits. But many of them are very obscure. (How’s that for an oxymoron?) The biggest hit of theirs to date has to be “Head Over Heels.” …

Jamie Foxx did a great job imitating Ray Charles in “Gold Digger”. Kanye came up with some very creative rhymes and the beat was awesome.
The song was very well writting, warning men against gold diggers - women who leech off men for money.
He told the tale of a man …
Three Imaginary Boys, 1979 Album by The Cure
It is probably not very often to encounter for a band like the Cure to be criticized, or even to not be praised, but I think that some of their albums are not very good, and this one, their 1979 debut Three Imaginary Boys is such a record.
I think …
Busy Man song
The song Busy Man was a hit for country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and it’s a song I have loved since its release. In some ways, it’s not unlike Harry Chapin’s Cats in the Cradle, only it has a happier ending.
